I see a few here that I could unfollow. As it's only going into my third week here I have much to learn yet.
I do spend most of my time reading from my feed, so much interesting content, and I have stopped upvoting my own comments in the first week.
Upvoting only interesting content and comments (as well as replies to my own) is a good way to gain followers. Show your appreciation regardless what your upvote is worth...and you will do well over the course of time.
you're getting the idea. When we first get our new powers, it's understandable that we might abuse them. But then, we have to look at the fundamentals: why was steemit created in the first place? Steemit was not created in order for people to self-upvote their own mindless comments. After we have come this realization, we can decide how to create meaning. And based on what we decide to do, we receive rewards, or we receive very little. Steemit is a game, a much deeper game than anyone realizes. By you making choices based on sound logic, you've just earned $20.....it really is that simple. The rules of the outside commodity-greed world don't really work so well in here.

I'm not a gamer, per se, I came here from Poloniex when I found that time consuming game seemed rigged for failure in the margin areas...I likened it to 5 level chess and don't regret the hours spent.
This game is so much more than Poloniex and less risk in the long run...or so I presume. Thank you for your generosity in making your point. I do believe it will be some time until I build my rep to better help others turn frustration and confusion into understanding and patience...I do the best I can with what I have to work with.
Heck, there are many here who have been longer at this game than I and it worries me that they don't take the time to learn the game...so much many helpful links such as this one.
Then again, there are no rules...other than the one unspoken truth. You reap what you sew.
Enjoy your day!
It felt wrong from day 1 for me (the self pat on the back) it clashed with my cultural upbringing. Did I do it, yes, have I kept it up, NO, I have to live within who I am not to please the masses. I am here to help grow a community and that starts with me...I can change me..
